after reading Macworld's review of Apple's first PDA, be sure to read Guy Kawasaki's dissenting view near the back of the magazine (page 366 in the archive.org reader):

this guy was prescient about almost all of it except the size, weight, and connections speed. it's wild that i was once okay wiy a 14.4kbps connection. lol

Well, websites weren't always bloated piles of JavaScript sharts.
The specs were realistic within the bounds of the time's technology, with a price to match.

"Newton: Start of something big?"
Narrator: It was not.
Delightful to see these old covers. Thank you for sharing them.

Apple should offer some of their products in this 90s design, aesthetic, obviously tailored to today’s technology.

Not even a little bit. I’m talking something that evokes the textured plastic look that you see in the Newton here. And of course the six color apple logo.

Apple really kept banging the drum on footer tabs since the early 90s.

Guy pretty much nailed it with the "PTA" he described in his article at the back - and hilarious that the shortened teaser actually used the phrase "smart phone."
